It's the Lunar New Year, Year of the Rat, so celebrate with this yummy Soba Bowl recipe from shoprite.com
Salmon poached in green tea? How interesting. Soba noodles, which I usually keep around but rarely think to use. Roasted broccoli combined with poached salmon and boiled noodles (which does seem a little inefficient, but it’s too good to care), all combined under a sauce of tahini, soy sauce, and grated ginger.
Prep time: 10 min Cook time: 20 min Serves: 4
Ingredients
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp agave nectar
1 lime, zested and juiced
3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
2 -inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 bunch or 2 small crowns broccoli, chopped into approximately 1-inch florets
2 tsp extra-volive oil
1 pinches sea salt
3 green tea bags
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1/2 cup mirin or dry white wine
1 1/4 lbs salmon filet
1 (9.5-ounce) package soba noodles
4 green onions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup white or black sesame seeds
Directions
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, tahini, agave nectar, lime juice and zest, soy sauce, and ginger. Set aside.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven.
- Spread the olive oil on the sheet, then add the broccoli and a pinch of salt, tossing to coat the broccoli with oil.
- Roast until the broccoli is tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes, stirring once.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- In a medium skillet, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer.
- Add the tea bags and peppercorns, cover, reduce to the heat to low, and let steep for 3 minutes.
- Discard the tea bags and add the mirin to the skillet.
- Place the salmon in the liquid, skin-side down.
- Cover and cook over low heat until the salmon flakes and is no longer translucent in the middle, 8-10 minutes.
- Cook the noodles in the boiling water according to the package instructions, 4-5 minutes. Drain and briefly rinse.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and transfer the meat to a large bowl, breaking it into large chunks.
- Add the broccoli, noodles, dressing, green onions, and half the cilantro to the bowl; toss to combine.
- Top with the remaining cilantro and sesame seeds; serve.
